Easton police have charged a man with burning, shaking and breaking the arm of his girlfriend's 1-year-old daughter.

Earl Luther Wilt Jr. of Easton was arrested Thursday and charged with assault and child abuse. He is being held on $50,000 bond.

According to court documents, in July Wilt, 39, allegedly broke the child's forearm. In late August, Wilt allegedly held the girl's hand to a stove burner and then shook the girl.

The child's mother took her to Memorial Hospital in Easton on Sept. 5.

Charges were filed against Wilt on Oct. 1.
